This typeface presents a narrow, upright blackletter-leaning construction with tall proportions and a crisp, angular silhouette. Strokes feel hand-inked, with subtly uneven edges, small flares, and tapered terminals that suggest a pen or brush rather than a purely geometric build. Counters are generally tight and vertically oriented, and the rhythm is driven by repeated straight stems and pointed joins, giving the letters a carved, chiseled look. Overall spacing reads compact, with a slightly irregular, handmade texture across lines of text.
Best suited to display applications where its angular detail and dense vertical rhythm can read clearly, such as headlines, posters, book covers, album art, and themed packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or signage in fantasy, historical, or gothic contexts, but is less appropriate for long body text due to its tight counters and strong texture.
The tone is medieval and dramatic, evoking manuscript lettering and fantasy or occult aesthetics. Its sharpness and dark, vertical cadence give it an authoritative, ritual-like voice, while the slight wobble and ink texture keep it from feeling sterile or purely historical.
The design appears intended to deliver a handcrafted blackletter impression with modern consistency, balancing sharp, traditional cues with an intentionally imperfect inked finish. It prioritizes atmosphere and character over neutrality, aiming to make short phrases feel ceremonial, mysterious, or historically styled.
Capital forms are notably ornamental and tall, and several characters show distinctive hooked or spur-like details that add personality at display sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, pointed logic, maintaining the set’s cohesive, old-world flavor.
